Eric Yuan (Video Communications / SaaS) at Zoom — San Jose, United States
Eric Yuan founded Zoom in 2011 after leaving Cisco WebEx, frustrated by the poor user experience of enterprise video conferencing. Zoom's simplicity drove explosive adoption, and the COVID-19 pandemic made "Zooming" a verb worldwide — growing the user base from 10 million to over 300 million daily participants in months. Yuan is known for his customer-obsessed culture, humility, and direct communication style.
